The New Orleans Police Department is seeking assistance from the public to identify a suspect linked to two carjackings on the 8500 block of North I-10 Service Road, as stated in their request made on October 15. The incidents occurred on the previous Thursday and Monday, each involving the forceful theft of a vehicle. According to reports from the New Orleans Police Department, the suspect introduced himself as "Larry Bird" and feigned interest in purchasing the cars before committing the alleged crimes.

The New Orleans Police Department have released an image of the suspect in hopes that witnesses will come forward with information. Although his real name is unknown, he goes by "Larry Bird," a name that contrasts sharply with that of the famous basketball player. 

Residents and those familiar with the area who might have seen something or someone matching the suspect's description are urged to contact the Seventh District detectives at 504-658-6070, or, for those wishing to remain anonymous, Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111, as highlighted by New Orleans Police Department.
